The DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) sector is predicted to be a trillion-dollar industry, and storage is its most critical vertical. While the market has been dominated by early movers, Walrus Protocol is arriving with second-mover advantage—better tech, lower costs, and seamless integration with the Sui blockchain.
By utilizing underused storage capacity globally and coordinating it via the $WAL token, Walrus creates a marketplace that is cheaper than AWS and more robust than its decentralized competitors. For investors looking at the DePIN narrative in 2026, keeping an eye on how @walrusprotocol captures market share from legacy cloud providers is essential. The $WAL token represents the fuel for this new digital economy.
